Nope. Still outside the top 5, but def inside the top 10.
Hey did you end up ordering the Twelve South Hi Rise Deluxe 3-1. Charger? I know you said after christmas holiday you would be getting one. I am loving mine since opening it up on Christmas Day. It looks so much better on the desk than the belkin 3-1 charger BoostCharge Pro.

Yep and absolutely loving this thing, so good right?

Just started wearing evergreen Finewoven. I dunno. I might like this. The buttons are perfect. Great fit. So light. Yes it probably will age like hell but this is better than I remember. Maybe after all the issues with other cases I might have overacted to the finewoven.
I’ve been watching videos on the FW and I think people have over blown the FW. Looks like it suppose to wear like a pair of Carhartt duck pants.

Exactly. People like to complain in general, but it was more because Apple ditched leather. For me the FW is perfect because I change cases so often that it wouldn't wear at all.

Hmm, maybe I need to order one while they are on sale lol
 
My Sheath is gray, and I think the lighter color is more susceptible to showing it. I feel like it was more noticeable on the 1st version of the case, and not so much on the revised, but it's still there. Like I said though, at this point I don't really care.
Agree 100%, Caudabe sent both a gray and black replacement to me and the gray is definitely more visible, while the black only shows under certain conditions... 99% of users wouldn't even notice it.

Hope it’s like that with the celestial blue.

Man, I know I don’t need more cases but I still really want to get the MagEZ 5. And all this talk about Apple Silicone I wanna get one of those too but I’m trying to at least hold off until spring colors.
what cases do you have now/have you already tried? the apple silicon is one that I have kept and I just ordered the magez5 because I would have kept the ez4 if it didnt have a sharp bottom edge; ez5 is supposed to have resolved that.

It was a nice case but it was hard to get used to the feel of it. I returned one just after Christmas.

Cases I have: Bullstrap, Andar, Spigen Enzo Aramid, Phone Rebel Gen 5 Frosted, Caudabe Sheath, Nomad Horween leather, Elago silicone and Alphex (I don’t use these two at all anymore).

Cases I’ve returned: Otterbox Symmetry, Native Union Re Classic, Torras Guardian, Supcase UB Mag.

I’m looking forward to ordering the MagEZ 5 when it comes to Amazon soon. Their CS said mid January. That’ll probably be my last case for a while.. for real this time!

I’ve been eyeing the same wear from others. I kind of like it. Really fits perfectly.

Ive had a lot of those cases too and the Mez5 is different than all of them that it is worth getting. I couldn’t wait for it to come to amazon and i know I’m going to keep it since i had the 4, so i went ahead and ordered it from their website. I have been a loooooong time customer of them. I say go for it.

Yeah, I really wanted to get a thin & light case. I had been teetering between MagEZ 4 and Benks ArmorAir, and then they came out with this MagEZ 5 and I really dig the Sunset. Really they all look good but I’ve settled on the Sunset, it fits me better. Which color way did you order? & with which color phone?

Btw, I did end up ordering a Snap 4 Luxe grip. Should be here within a week, already got shipping confirm today.

Oh absolutely. I’m not giving them a pass, I’m just saying for me personally, the issue is overblown. Like I said, personally. The MagSafe indent is hardly noticeable, and they improved the buttons, so it’s not a major issue. Some people may think so, but in my opinion it’s not.

I have the natural Ti iPhone 15PM, ordered the "break the line" case. I prefer the blue ez5 case color, but I already have 2 blue cases; dont really like the sunset one personally.

I expect better from Caudabe. Their motto, after all, is “Minimalist Perfection”. I’d happily give them that in years past, but this year, not so much.
I meant to quote your message in my reply, but you get the gist. Glad to see that some people can still have civilized conversations with me without it turning personal.
 
I keep going back to the Rugged. I suppose I mostly prefer protective cases and don’t mind a little bulk. I rocked the OG Defender back in the day, what a beast that was; the Rugged is svelte in comparison. It’s not the most visually striking case, but I do appreciate the simple, utilitarian aesthetic, combined with good drop protection and a surprisingly comfortable feel in the hand.
